ATTACK SHARK CM05 SE Tempered Glass Mouse Pad, 16.1''×12.2'' Large Hard Gaming Mouse Pad, Nano-Etched Surface, 9H Anti-Scratch, Anti-Slip Base, Black Contours

This comes packed tightly in a black retail box and is sandwiched between thick layers on foam. The packaging has the same aura as buying new parts for the PC. It feels like unboxing an upgrade. I was unaware that a glass mouse pad was even a thing, but I am honestly very glad it is. It makes so much sense in hindsight. The top surface is similar to what frosted glass is like. It's smooth but not glossy as if it has a matte coating on it. Which has a foggy or smoky look to it. This has the effect of feeling soft to the touch while also being very hard and very flat. Which means the mouse functions very well on this pad. The friction is quite low and allows the mouse to glide around very effortlessly. The image is actually sandwiched between the glass and the rubberized bottom coating. Since this piece is a decent size 16"x12" and made of glass, it has some weight to it. There's a honeycomb patterned coating on the bottom, and the result is that this stays still very well. The image is underneath the layer of glass, so it has a hazy effect on the appearance. It's a nice-looking print from arms length, but honestly, it looks kinda low-res. The image on this one is very reminiscent of The Great Wave of Kanagawa by Hokusai, but it's not. It's hard to tell the difference, though. It is a very appropriate print coming from Attack Shark. The majority white image is really well suited for all-white PC setups, or nautical aesthetics. What I like most is that this is easy to clean because it's basically just glass. So I can just use glass cleaner or a wet wipe to clean up the dorito dust. Pros: very smooth, hard, and low friction. large size. glass weight plus grippy bottom stays still. Has the right aesthetics. Easy to clean. Cons: image is not 4k resolution.
